We’re saddened by the recent passing of children’s TV veteran Linda Kahn. Kahn, who was the VP of acquisitions at Nickelodeon and Nick at Nite and VP of international program sales at MTV in the mid-1980s through the mid-1990s, went on to become the senior VP of international sales and merchandising at Scholastic Media from 1995 to 2008. She led Scholastic Media’s international consumer products and promotional activities including those forWordGirl, Maya & Miguel, Clifford The Big Red Dog, I SPY, Horrible Histories, Stellaluna, The Magic School Bus, Animorphs, and Goosebumps. She also spearheaded the branding and distribution of the Scholastic Video Collection, creating a new consumer video line based on the award-winning Weston Woods library of classic best-selling children’s picture books.
